BUT when you have a few bios updates that specifically mention fixing ACC for PHII chips that kind of contradicts the reviewer. Plus not having any concrete information from AMD doesn't help.

Perhaps the reviewer's "source" at AMD meant that it wouldn't work with the bios that was then available and he interpreted that in his own way. (And of course the way the internet works... pretty soon other sources were quoting him.)
Yepp, so unless I see a statement and a source directly from AMD I won't believe otherwise.

ACC might not help as much as it did to Agena (K10 65nm), but it could be working to some extent.

The fact that many motherboard manufacturers just "fixed ACC" many have already forgotten about this function and have not bothered to try it with new BIOSes and to fully take advantage of ACC actually requires loads of patience, as in trying to find out which core is weak, before using this function.

I am not calling you a liar Chew* but unless you can show me a concrete source from AMD, I won't be the one saying that Phenom II isn't supported by ACC "unless a defect passed through binning" which isn't a viable theory at all to me.
